...So for the past few weeks I've been researching the best beginner heli for the money.
+My price range = as low as possible (ie, best bang-for-the-buck)
+My experience = Air Hogs (don't laugh - they opened my eyes to the world of affordable, beginner helis, and for that, they're priceless)

After weeks of research (TY RCGroups!) I was sold on the e-flite blade series (MCX,CX2)... that is until today. I just learned about the Nine Eagles brand, and from what I've read, they're just as good, if not slightly better then the e-flite brand - AND CHEAPER!

I called my LHS, and they've never even heard of the NE line.

I found them for sale online, but only in China, and shipping is almost as expensive as the heli itself, especially if I don't want to wait 30-45 days to get it!

With that said, does ANYONE know of any LHS that carry this brand in Washington State? Anywhere north of Seattle would be great (I am near Oak Harbor/Burlington/Mt Vernon). I am not apposed to ordering online, as long as it's in the US (I prefer not to order from overseas due to shipping costs, delays, and customs).

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide...

PS - Here is the Nine Eagles website (nineeagle.com)

Like Hank, I have the Proto CX and find it's a great 4 channel starter heli.

I got mine here: http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detai...p?ID=200829410

This is actually LANTZ HOBBIES out of New York.

Was about $11.50 shipping.
